Roman Villa, Part 3

The first thing to do today was to glue on the arcade roof. Once that glue was set the next step was to texture the wall above that roof. I cut four small windows in the surface and etched a stone surround for them. I also etched in a couple of large areas of exposed brick. I left this to cure and moved onto the stables.

I quickly completed to long wall of the stable that faces the courtyard, cutting a large door, barred shut, and a small window. A small amount of damage is cut into the putty. I also textured the back wall of the courtyard, including the back gate.

That was it for the night. All of the textured surfaces facing into the courtyard are complete now

Actually Roman tiling is not as bad as more recent types. I have finished all the exterior work on the stable now and have done some of the basic roof work. You should see the results of this in Friday's post.

About Me

I have been involved in historical wargaming since 1972, co-founding the Auckland Wargaming Club in 1974 and was for 15 years involved in the "industry" in a business that eventually became Battlefront Miniatures.
My main focus is on the mid-19th Century and I now collect in only two scales: 28mm for all land based gaming and 1:600 for mid-19th century naval gaming.
My philosophy for gaming is:
- Play games with people whose company I enjoy
- The game must be true to the period
- The games must be visually attractive – both the armies and terrain
- The end result doesn’t matter - games must be fun.
